Our sister magazine PRODUCTS looks at seven technology solutions that can make your life easier on the jobsite.
With smartphones and voice command becoming a given in homes and on jobsites, technology solutions promise to solve myriad contractor pains.
Roofing contractor Luke Hansen says that not all of them end up being so smart.
“If you’re trying to do 100 different things, it’s more than likely that you don’t do any one thing very well,” says Hansen, who launched CompanyCam in 2014 as a platform for contractors to organize and share jobsite photography. “The guys on a construction project have actual work to do. They’re framing, hanging drywall, laying carpet, this whole series of trades and jobs, and if your technology is not speeding up the process, it becomes just another layer of work. The goal in construction technology has to be simplicity.”
